3RD PARTY TORN WITH DISSENSION

Christensen and Hayes Will Head the Ticket of Ultra-Radicals 1 fBCLLETIX.) BT GEORGE R. HOLLIES. rSTAFF CORRESPONDENT I N. SERVICE! CHICAGO. July 15. Tern with dissension and stripped of considerable of Us strength through disertions. the Farmer-Labor party succeeded n launching a national ticket here early this morning after a stormy all night convention which did not end until after 4 o'clock. LAWYER IS MMED. Parley Park Christensen, a salt Lake city attorney, was nominated for the presidency by the freshly named party, and Max Hayes, a Cleveland labor leader, was named as his running mate. Christensen Is a former republican, a former progressive and a former Fortv-eighter. For several years he was secretary of the republican state committee of Utah. WAS LABOR CONVENTION. The ticket was completed about daylight In what was practically a labor convention. Most of the committee of forty-eight" delegates, who marched so blightely Into a coalition on Tuesday, headed by a band, absent from the convention hail during tha all night session. .Most of the represecatives of other affiliated organizations were likewise missing. LEADERS DESERT PARTY. A convention of the Forty-elghters was called to meet before noon today to decide what U to be done about the situation. Some of the Forty-eighters Stuck with the Labor group but the majority of them left the amalgamated convention flat during the night. Among these who left were George L. Becord. of New Jersey; Amos Pinchot. of New York; Gilson Gardner of Washington and Allan McCurdy, of New York, all of whom have been prominently identified with the committee of Forly-eight since its birth. NO NATIONAL TICKET. Record said today it was not probable that the Forty-eighters would now name a national ticket, but that it probably would organize several congressional campaigns. The principal business of the committee, he said, was to reform the line and survey the siuation. J. H. Hopkins, of New Jersey, one of the Jeaders of the Forty-eighters. announced to the convention during the night, however, that he would stick to the coalition. The purpose of the Forty-elghters' convention today, he said, was to complete organization business. His announcement was greeted with cheers from the laborites. NAMED AT 3 P. M. Chrlstensen's nomination was accomplished on the second ballot at nearly 3 o'clock this morning. Senator Robert M. LaFollette at midnight flatly de- ( Continued on pa ge three.) 48ers Grope In Darkness BY DAVID M. CHURCH STAFF CORRESPONDENT I N. SERVICE! CHICAGO, July 15. Tha committee of forty-eight, in convention today, struggled to tear itself apart from the Farmer-Labor party. There was considerable sentiment in the conventon that the committee of forty-eight re-establsh itself as a separate party. In dramatic fashion the convention was denounced as "unsportsmanslike" by several delegates and Delegate Pritchard Potts, of Texas, walked out. inviting the convention to follow, but he went alone. J. A. H. H. Hopkins, suggested to the convention that the committee or forty-eight establish itself for state campaigns and such national work as It saw fit. Parley Parker Christensen, nominated last night for the presidency by the Farmer-Labor party after he had presided at the f orty-eighter convention at the beginning, was in the hall when the remnants of the committee of forty-eisht were called to order. He said he was present as a spectator only. He was smiling and seemed pleased over the outcome. Considerable difficulty was met with in getting under way. There seemed to be some doubt as to whether the convention was legally constituted. If the meeting was in the nature of a rump convention or merely a continuation of that which had adjourned Tuesday to meet with the Labor party.

MAYOR SAYS PARK BOARD CAN'T WAIT Mayor Brown answered wearily this morning when asked about the appointment of a board of park commissioners-. "Why." he yawned. ' I don t know when I'll appoint them. There's going to be two: democrats" and two republicans on the board. Maybe I'll be able to get around to It this week." The mayor was automatically authorized to name a park be-ard immediately following adoption of a resolution at last council meeting creatins Hammond a second class city. The board will have unquestioned authority to build parks, play-ground., recreation centers, bathing beaches! boulevards, and other cit-y-beautif uj features.

"Anyway," said the mayor, "we gM to have a filtration plant firm park and bculevards afterward." Ik NEVER AGAIN" SAYS ALEX Although prohibition became effective a year ago. they are still signing the pledge. The latest man to tane the vow of total abstinence is Alex Graczyk of West Hammond, the young man who made things so lively for Sergeant John OkraJ Tuesday night when he attempted to put Alex in the calaboose. Yesterday evening he appeared before Judge John Kowalsk. West Hammond's police magistrate. Alex was a sober boy. "Never again. Judge, said he. "I'll never touch a drop of liquor again as long as I live if you will let me off thi3 time." It will be noticed that Alex tacked a contingent clause on his pledge m it would not be surprising if he later treats it as a scrap cf -paper because the judge did not let him off. Sergeant Okraj in the heat following the battle had charged Alex with drunkenness, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer. The judge was lenint though and stuck him only for the drunkenness charge. He paid $13.50 and was released. , SAYS THEY WERE 'When pc-lice arrived at the Union Labor Temple third floor of the First Nitional Band building, following a report that a drunken brawl was in pro? ress. they found one man present. He was net too drunk to admit that there had been a fight in which more than 3 dozen men participated. "They were dringing Jamaica ginger." he saiif. The wiseacre's words were confirmed when police entered the wah room of the temple where they discovered the plumbing fixtures torn from the walls. Water dripped f t hours to the second floor and thence to the first, which is occupied by the Woolworth 5 and 10 cent store. ORAK SPECIAL All members of Orak Temple who have worked in the patrol or drum corp are quested to be at the temple Thursday evening. July 15. at 8 o'clock. Special business of importance. WM. EARLE. W. E. STARTSMAN, JOHN SODERBERG.

DRINKING GINGER

NOW HE'S SORRY THATf INVESTED East Chicago Man Gathered In While Taking His Still Home. Paul Kvasnicak. who lives at 513 Emlyn place. East Chicago, was tired of - paying twenty-five cents for a

small drink of the white liquor and decided that he could save money and get more of a kick by making his own. He went to a frietfd in Chicago who explained the operation and supplied him with a vest pocket edit on still all wrapped up in a pasteboard box about two feet square. Kvasnicak alighted from the car in East Chicago a little after midnight and started home with his package, but failed to note that Sergeant Wikswo was eyeing him with suspicion. After he had gone a coup!o of blocks he began to feel uncomfortable and became more so when he looked around and found the sergeant close at his heels. Kvasnicak then hesitated and was lost. Wikswo wanted to know what was in the box. but Kvasnicak didn t know and was much surprised when the opened box revealed a small copper still. A search of his home disclosed about two hundred pounds of dried huckleberries and five gallons of mash. Huckleberries. Kvasnicak fays, make an excellent gin with a real kick. "It would have been better to have paid twenty-five per kick." now opin-s Paul. TRIP IDEA B If plans now under consideration are carried out Lake county will form the nucleus of a great auto caravan, Vhich will bear Republicans from this district and other patts of Northern Indiana to Mario?i.-y-Ohior for a "front porch" greeting to Senator Harding, republican nominee for president. The entire proposition is much in the air at present, but wherever it is discussed it meets with favor. The idea originated with the McKinley club cf East Chicago and is spreading rapidly. The Hammond Republican club has taken it up and it is planned to sound out the sentiment before making further arrangements. lniring the campaign Senator Harding will receive delegations of Republicans at his home. Swated on his front porch he will address gatherings, talk over conditions and hear suggestions. It is believed that in Lake county and neighboring counties a caravan of at least 100 automobiles can bo organized to make the trip to Marion. Ohio, which i 250 miles from Hammond. If it is found that a railway trip Is preferred a special train may be arranged over the Erie. Just whm the trip will be made. if at all. is still a matter of speculation, but it has been suggested that it should be around the first of August. lake co. bills areadvanSed INDIAN A PO LIS. Ind..

A f uil-flledged street car strike hit Chicago without warning this morning, tying up every surface line in the city and bringing chaos to the city's industries. The strike was the result of the failure of officials of the company and representatives of the Maintenance of Service employes to agree on a new wage scale. Although the motormen and conductors were at their posts early this morning to take their cars from the tarns, the walkout of maintenance men resulted in a compelte shut-off of electric power throughout the city for several hour?. THO I SANDS ARE STALLED Thc-usands cf workers waited in vain at street corners for transportation t" their places of employment. Owing to the suddenness of the strike, not even the improvised "mMor truck expresses'" which have ben used in transportation strikes cf the past, were available. Work in business offices and factories- was temporarily suspended early in the day because of the fall ure of the workers tc report for dutyy. The elevated lines and steam road suburban service were in operation but were taxed beyond their capacity to handle the crowds. Some 3.00 men are involved In the strike. The demand wage boevts amounting tD 33 per cent. SERVICE ENDS AT STATE LINE While regular patrons of the Chicago surface lines today either walked or sought other means cf transportation because of the unexpected strike w hich ties up all of the system in Chicago, street car service cn the H. W. & E. C. lines continued without a hitch. The only inconvenience lies in the fact that no cars arc running beyond the state line. Workers, employed in cities of the Calumet region, but who reside in Chicago, were delayed in getting to work this morning and many did no appiar at all. The tie-up in street car trafllc came without warning to the general public. Late last night, it is said. "Umbrella Mike"' Boyle, business agent of Electrical Workers local 134. visited a-tl of the power substations of Chicago and called out his men. Tha strike was set for 5 o'clock this morning, but for soma reason was advanced an hour, halting all cars at 4 o'clock. Officials of the lines operating in Hammond. Whiting and East Chicago, announce that no trouble is anticipated in operating, as an agreement was reached with their substation men some time ago. The electrical workers ara r.ot affiliated with the trainmen. When the recent wage agreement was reached between the surfaco lines heads and the trainmen, the frloctriral workers were r. ceiing $150 and 16C per month. Thft company advanced their rate to $100 and $-00. The men were not satistied and are now asking for $290 and C.irs on th" Green line have been running only to the state line as the tracks .and power beyond that point come under tho Chicago surface lines. Tassengers are warned h- train crews that theywill have to take chances on finding oihr means of conveyance when the end of the line is reacher. As a result few passi ngrs are traveling beyond th , five points. GARY LAWYERS TAKE UP ACTION President Fred Barnett c-f the Lake Co.
